Question

Babita Jassal · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  The description given is consistent with operant conditioning, which uses consequences (reinforcers or punishers) to increase or decrease the likelihood of a behavior occurring again in the future. Choice A, cognitive learning, refers to acquiring new knowledge or skills through mental processes like observation or problem-solving. Choice B, higher-order conditioning, refers to when a neutral stimulus is paired with a previously conditioned stimulus to create a new, conditioned response. Choice D, classical conditioning, involves pairing an unconditioned stimulus with a neutral stimulus to create a new, conditioned response.
